Get an amazing taste (literally!) for the agricultural bounty of northern New Mexico during your luxury getaway to La Posada de Santa Fe, where you’ll find yourself just minutes from the year-round magic of the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market!

Introducing the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market

Among the oldest and biggest growers’ markets in the U.S., the Santa Fe Farmers’ Market is also among the relatively few major markets at which all of the products up for sale were grown or made by the folks selling them. All the produce and nursery starts sold here hail from northern New Mexico, as do the majority of the ingredients and materials used in the processed foods and craft products on offer. Local’s not just a buzzword here, in other words: It’s the name of the game.

Comments Off on Upscale Dining at Boutique Santa Fe Hotel

Santa Fe has no shortage of gourmet restaurants, and as a guest here at La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa, they’re all at your fingertips. But some of the very finest gastronomy actually goes down right here on our very grounds: Join us for New Mexico fine dining of world-class caliber!

We owe our creative and high-end cuisine, which evokes plenty of Southwestern spirit and draws upon regional tradition while keeping an eye to the international cookery spectrum, to our Executive Chef Tom Kerpon. Chef Tom’s an alum of such top-tier establishments as Bishops Lodge Resort, Inn of the Anasazi, and Hotel Crescent Court, and sits on the board of the Santa Fe Wine & Chile Festival.

Julia, A Spirited Restaurant & Bar

Our flagship restaurant is named, of course, for our muse, Julia Staab, the bygone (or, more accurately, not-quite-bygone) hostess of this historic property. The beautifully laid-out Julia, A Spirited Restaurant & Bar delights diners from 7 AM to 9:30 PM.

Here you can tuck into a breakfast of, say, Bagel & Lox, Granola & Yogurt, Huevos Rancheros, Steak & Eggs, Southwestern Eggs Benedict, or perhaps a Breakfast Burrito. Come back to embrace lunchtime at its most elegant with such fare as our Street Tacos, Blistered Shishito Peppers, Cubano Sandwich, Seared Crab Cake Salad, or our Julia or The Staab burgers.

For dinner, prepare yourself for Christmas Tamales, Crab Enchiladas, Firecracker Shrimp Cocktail, Charred Corn Bisque, or Cucumber Gazpacho (among other starters) ahead of an entrée of, for example, our Roasted Half Chicken, Grilled Carne Asada, Maple Leaf Duck Breast, or Al Pastor.

Other Dining (and Wining) at La Posada de Santa Fe

Pay a visit to our celebrated lounge, the Staab House, open from 11 AM to midnight Sunday through Thursday, and 11 AM to 1 AM Friday and Saturday. In this cozy and charming setting, you can pair bar fare with the perfect libations—including such signature cocktails as our “Juliarita,” a highlight of the Official Santa Fe Margarita Trail.

Kiva fireplaces and a Santa Fe skyscape await you, meanwhile, at the Patio Restaurant, which serves breakfast, lunch, and dinner. The tapas menu here includes such plated-up perfections as Green Chile Maize Stuffed Quail, Smoked Deviled Eggs, Mezcal Braised Octopus, Pork Tamales, and Piquillo Relleno.

Speaking of tapas, it takes center stage at Julia’s Social Club, our very own tapas bar pouring a rich lineup of Portuguese, Spanish, and South American wines as well as some swoony mezcal, tequila, and craft beer.

Here at La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa, we’re well known as the Art Hotel of Santa Fe: a tag we strive to live up to each and every day, thanks to the amazing works on display in The Gallery Collection on our grounds, curated by the one and only Sara Eyestone.

But we don’t simply surround our guests with amazing paintings and sculptures by established American artists here at our luxury resort: We also put you in striking distance of a fabulous array of art galleries and studios, including one of the foremost showcases for amazing glasswork in the spectacularly artsy capital of New Mexico: Liquid Light Glass!

Introducing Liquid Light Glass

Located at 926 Baca Street, Ste. 3, Liquid Light Glass is just minutes from our lavish resort—and a fantastic destination for any and all fine-art appreciators. Founded in 1986 by noted glass artist Elodie Holmes, Liquid Light Glass serves as a fabulous working glass studio and gallery for a fine cadre of glassblowers and makers. You can take a look at the glassworks currently for sale at Liquid Light Glass right here: Perhaps a truly one-of-a-kind Santa Fe keepsake is in your future!

Beyond marveling (and maybe buying) some exquisite pieces of artwork, one of the joys of a visit to Liquid Light Glass is the chance to see glass artists in the thick of their entrancing work: always an inspiring spectacle.

Art Classes at Liquid Light Glass

There’s more to the Liquid Light Glass experience, too: You can take classes here to learn the basics of glass artistry for yourself!

Three different sessions are offered at the studio. The Glass Paperweight Class shows you the ropes of making an extra-special paperweight, the finished version of which you’ll either be able to pick up one or two days following the class or have shipped back home. Then there’s the Glass Cup Class, which’ll result in your very own handmade drinking glass. Finally, the Glass Experience Class gives you one-on-one instruction in making paperweights, blown-glass cups, and flowers; you can take an individual hour long class or join with somebody else for a 1.5-hour one.

Check Out Liquid Light Glass on Your Next Visit to La Posada de Santa Fe Resort & Spa

Admire some intricate and colorful glassware masterpieces in up-close detail, perhaps get the chance to see some extraordinarily skilled artists doing their thing, and maybe try your hand at glass art at Liquid Light Glass on Baca Street!
